Without FsP installed, does P3D load normally? Which version of P3D are you using?
Sorry for the delay in responding. Life gets in the way sometimes. Also, I will not be on here much at
all this coming week due to being at Oshkosh AirVenture. Hopefully we can get you in the right direction to a solution before long.

Yes P3D loads normally it's only when I install fspassangers p3d version I get the issue, I have noticed that if i go to shader files and remove the .dll file prepared works as normal but no fa passengers in the top file bar under add ons or on its own......

Think it has to do with the .dll file somehow?


RE: P3D wont load past first screen - Joeflyer - 06-08-2016

I don't understand "I have noticed that if i go to shader files and remove the .dll file prepared works as normal". What .dll resides in the P3D shaders folder??
And, why would you need to do something like this for P3D to work properly?

Go to the FsP folder in your Documents library and post the install log and the log.txt here.

See my install.log and compare. No errors or AppcompatFlags warning but I'm using Win 7. Win 10 has created some issues with installations:

You can check the registry to see if FsP is showing in the right directory. If not, change it per the information in this thread:

Please report back.

What about the normal log.txt. if that isn't there then it means the dll isn't being ran. In task manager have you tried to switch to p3d. I would personally recommend you to revert to your last OS that you had working as win 10 hasncaused problems for a long time even with the changes to try and fix it.
